PREFATORY NOTE 

The reference lists here collected are designed to 
facilitate the work of students of History in the Ohio 
State University, and to promote special studies in 
the subjects presented. The lists relating to the 
Middle Ages, Modern Europe and English Consti- 
tutional History are as full as the resources of the 
State Library would admit. The lecture subjects 
and references to accompany the course in United 
States Constitutional History are fortunately more 
nearly complete, as the State Library is well 
equipped in the published sources. Still no claim 
is made that the list is exhaustive. It is presented 
with the hope that it may prove to be a practical 
working list for students whose time is subject to the 
limitations of the college curriculum. 

In the collection and verification of a considerable 
number of my references I have had the intelligent 
and valued assistance of Mr. Edward E. Sparks 
and Mr. Oliver L. Fassig, B. S. , both former 
students in the department. The excellent ' ' Manual 
of Historical Literature," by Professor Charles 
Kendall Adams, has been used by me with great 
advantage. ITS
